@campbell_st can u please help:)

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

direct variation is y = kx to find k, use the information given y = 384 and x = 32 so 384 = 32k solve for k... when you find it use the value and x = 12 to find y, the total pay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

34.67 I think:(

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

ummm what did you get for k.... using the equation 384 = 32k \[k = \frac{384}{32}\] so what would you say..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

in this question k is actually the hourly rate of pay

OpenStudy (swagster23780):

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

great so y = 12x is the equation so now substitute x = 12 and calculate the answer
